"There were other stories and other names. Second Base Stace, who had breasts in fourth grade and let some of the boys feel them. Vincent, who took acid and tried to flush a sofa down the toilet.

“When 1:45 came, half the class left, and Danny Hupfer whispered, "If she gives you a cream puff after we leave, I'm going to kill you" - which was not something that someone headed off to prepare for his bar mitzvah should be thinking. When 1:55 came and the other half of the class left, Meryl Lee whispered, "If she gives you one after we leave, I'm going to do Number 408 to you."

“My experience is that I find myself having to constantly define myself to others, day-in, day-out. The quote that's helped me the most through that is from Toni Morrison's â€œBelovedâ€ where she says, â€œDefinitions belong to the definers, not the definedâ€ - so I find myself defining myself for other people lest I be defined by others and stuck into some box where I don't particularly belong”

“serene illumination, or just sitting, is not a technique, or a means to some resulting higher state of consciousness, or any particular state of being.
